It also caused an unforgettable blow to BN 50 years of rule.
BN not only lost 2/3 Parliament majority, 5 states government and many heavy weight leaders were all swept away.
Even the Federal Territory's 11 Parliament seats. BN could only save 1 seat.
BN 4 ministers, 11 deputy ministers and 7 secretaries got "beheaded".
Some BN candidates even though they won, their majorities were "very close shave"; spoilt votes that represent people dissatisfaction were 321,885, they were 27,827 more as compared to 2004.
PENANG Gerakan and MCA lost all
Gerakan based in Penang and Chinese based MCA were wiped off in Penang. Perak, Selangor, Kedah collapsed. They were unsuccessful in snatching Kelantan back.
BN retained 140 Parliament seats, Pakatan 82 seats which is broke the minimal 75 seats to deny BN 2/3 majority, which is as good as taken away BN's 1/2 an empire.
Gerakan contested in 12 Parliament 31 state seats, only won 2 Parliament 4 states; MCA in 40 Parliament 90 states, only got 15 Parliament 31 states.
What do you think this time round?
Will Gerakan and MCA BE TOTALLY "annihilated" !?
What about UMNO.
If, only if there is equal playing field BN/Umno would be long gone.
This 13th GE may be their Waterloo.
